Bug#618310: dejavu-fonts-ttf upstream

[Marius Mikucionis]

Hi,

Almost two years have passed.
Upstream has been publishing snapshots with fixes for a year now, but not
Debian.

In fact the latest upload of 2.33-3 has overwritten my manual fixes and
broke it again :-(

There is something wrong with Debian's upstream, maybe some scripts
aren't fixed in the SVN repository.

Here's an upstream bug report with discussion:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36135

My workaround:
1) visit http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/snapshots/
2) download dejavu-fonts-2.33 package (current link:
http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/snapshots/dejavu-fonts-2.33-20130121-2512.tar.bz2)
3) extract and copy the ttf files from ttf directory
to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/

 1) visit http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/snapshots/
 2) download dejavu-fonts-2.33 package (current link:

 to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/

Another possible workaround : join the pkg-fonts team and take the
package over..:-)
